The Postal series of games have been primarily known for the controversy caused by their extreme levels of violence, disregard for graphic content, and exploitation of stereotypes. With the change from the Unreal to the Source engine, Running with Scissors had a chance to take the franchise beyond the simple foundations of bad humor and shocking imagery of past games. Unfortunately, Postal III continues in the tradition of its predecessors by containing generic gameplay, off-color humor, and an assortment of bugs that hinder the overall experience.
Controversy is not a new concept with the history of video games. Most gamers are no longer stunned by increased levels of gore or swearing during gameplay. Thus, a game based primarily on the shock factor of vulgar humor and overly used stereotypes can only be saved with a unique approach to gameplay or well-written and captivating story. From the beginning cutscene to the end credits, Postal III offers more of a challenge with patience than the actual gameplay difficulty.
Gamers will assume the role of quite literally 'The Postal Dude,' but for the first time in a third-person perspective. After recently destroying the city of Paradise with a nuclear bomb, the Postal Dude heads to the city of Catharsis in the search to acquire money for a tank of gas. Without any money and stranded in the foreign town, the Dude accepts various missions from a cast of minor celebrities including the appearances of Ron Jeremy, Jennifer Walcott, and even Uwe Boll. Even more odd appearances include Osama bin Laden and a Sarah Palin look-alike with an entourage of angry hockey moms. There is no actual connection between any of these characters or any real attachment to the game series, their simply placed in for the comedic effect. It is with great discomfort to call the assortment of levels in Postal III something that resembles a narrative. To give the developers credit, the narrative includes good and bad paths based upon how the player behaves in missions. The system doesn't contain the complexity of the Mass Effect series or other similar games that have contained morality systems. There were numerous occasions that due to glitches and an inaccurate aiming system that resulted in accidentally selecting the bad path.
The narrative in Postal III is a combination of uninspired level design, dull characters, and stereotypes that somehow continue to repeat themselves throughout the experience. The only positive point of the game's narrative is the complete unpredictably from one level to the next. Unfortunately, the surprise of events was quickly replaced with frustrating glitches in the game's AI and lack of a mini-map. Before beginning each mission, there are screens that explain the objective and mock the game's lack of basic features. The developers thought it might have been ironic to joke about lack of a mini-map, but it doesn't help when the levels in Postal III are often confusing in layout and include vague directions with little assistance in completing objectives.
The actual gameplay in Postal III can be compared to any other generic third-person shooter on the market. The objectives of each mission will always result in players either running through corridors or searching open areas to eliminate every enemy in the level. The third-person shooter mechanics are quite satisfying due to the array of weapons available during gameplay. From the Schwarzenegger-inspired M60 to a flesh-eating badger, the variety of ways in which to eliminate enemies is one of the few entertaining aspects of the game. Unfortunately, gamers will soon discover that the easiest method to survival in Postal III simply involves the use of the game's various guns. Melee weapons can be highly entertaining, but offer little assistance against enemies with pistols or rifles.
To make matters worse, Postal III contains a wealth of bugs that can challenge patience and hinder progress in levels. There are a few occasions in levels that require the player to escort AI to safety against the backdrop of enemies. The escort missions rarely failed as the result of the AI being killed, but instead for being stuck in level environments. There were particular escort missions that required the AI to pass through select corridors and would simply stop in their tracks if brought another direction. With the game being built on the Source engine, known for its dependability and extensive compatibility with new and old hardware, Postal III still experienced a few frame rate issues and crashes to the desktop.
The game's presentation was a mixed experience with its lackluster use of the Source engine and dull voice work from the few characters in the cast. However, there were small areas, such as textures and select music tracks, that aided the pain of drab character models and generic level design. The switch to a third-person perspective was a welcome change in the series that added more personality to the Postal Dude. If only the developers put more care into character models when in dialogue with one another. Characters would literally stand and deliver dialogue lines without so much of a facial expression or arm gesture. When Postal III was originally announced for the Source engine, it was exciting to image the chaotic series being translated onto a platform that allowed for nearly endless potential with unique physics and environment interaction. It is rather unfortunate to see such a waste of potential with a engine known for its innovative and quirky creations.
Postal III is now available for purchase on

Neighborhoods: Mount Lebanon
So Awful! – I am VERY petite and was having so much trouble finding a dress that would fit appropriately (even after alterations) that I thought a custom made dress at Tomasina would be worth the cost. I discussed with the owner what I was looking for, and she argued about what I wanted. Then, when I tried on the dresses she wanted me to, she kept exclaiming about how my chest was so small and I had no chest. Then, with another dress that she suggested, she told me I didn't have the hips to pull it off. Finally, she told me that I should go look somewhere else. It is bad enough that I didn't find a dress, but now I feel even more terrible about my body. Do not go here unless you are prepared to have the faults of your body pointed out to you multiple times.
The best bridal Shop – The dresses are stunning, and they are created for you, so they fit perfectly. My bridal dress was gorgeous and the owner treated me and my mom like we were family. Every appt was private, no other customers, and we got the owner's full attention. The store was clean and modern, and the service, quality of the dresses, and even the store were so much better than Anne Gregory. My veil was also custom-made. My friend wore Vera Wang from Ann Gregory, and I can honestly say my dress looked much better. Definitely go to Tomasina if you can afford to pay quite a bit, it will be worth it I promise. This was the LEAST stressful part of my wedding planning!

Research Interests
- Studying the role for the serine/threonine kinase Pak4 in cancer. Since Pak4 is upregulated in so many types of cancers, it would appear to be general mediator of oncogenic transformation, playing a vital role in many types of cancer. This makes it an attractive candidate for drug therapy for many types of cancer. In our lab we use cell lines overexpressing Pak4, as well as Pak4 knockout mice to study the role of Pak4 in oncogenic transformation in cell lines, as well as in mouse models.

I recently tried to open a business account there and the management knew less than the tellers about the requirements. It took me several trips back and forth to the bank just to open the account and even now when I ask questons about banking rules, no one seems to know the answers and they have to call the main branch so you waste an hour there.
I put a large amount of money in my account to pay for one of my school fees. I thought that everything was taken care of, because there was enough money in the account to cover all the money that the school wanted from me. The school took money out of my account, and I was okay with this, because I thought everything was taken care of. This was not the case.
Bank of America took over a week and a half to process that amount of money. They also put a hold on my account. Then when the school finally took the money that I owed them out of the account, Bank of America told me that my account was overdrawn! This frustrated me, because there was enough money in the account!
Then they started adding overdraft fees onto my account.The overdraft fees were completely unnecessary; it was not my fault that the bank took too long to process the money. The overdraft fees started to build up, and I owed the bank $75, even though there should not have been a problem
I called customer service and was told that I would be refunded for my fees and that they would have everything taken care of by the end of the day. Yeah, right. It took them another 5 days to figure everything out, and I had to call them multiple times to make sure they didn't screw me over. If I hadn't been carefully watching my account, I would be in trouble.
Oh, and here's the kicker: while they were processing my money they told me that I had to wait for them to process the money before I could make any purchases. This was not a problem for me, because I am a college student with supportive parents. But, what if I was a single parent that needed to buy necessities for my children? A week and a half is a long time. They were lucky I didn't need to buy anything important.
But, this entire fiasco screwed me over with my school. I now have overdraft fees for my school, because of the bank's screw up! I'm unable to register for my classes, because of the bank's error. So, now I have to figure that out too.
I am very unhappy and disappointed with the service that I received from the teller, Cecilia and her supervisor today 4/19/14 at 11:15 AM. I have been banking with BoA for many years and I should be entitled with a service that is pleasant, unbiased, non-racial, clear explanation, friendly and happy environment whenever I go to the nearest BOA banking location. Instead, Cecilia was a total opposite of my expectation. She gave me attitude instead of clear explanation to my question. She was not paying attention and she made me think about closing my accounts with BOA. I walked out of the bank disappointed and upset.

(PETERBOROUGH) Ambitious thieves stole an airplane from the Peterborough airport.
Peterborough County OPP say sometime between late Wednesday (Nov. 28) and early Thursday morning (Nov. 29), thieves entered the hanger storing planes from the Aerotrike Aviation Ultralight Flight School and stole an ultralight plane. The plane did not have wings attached to it.
According to OPP, also stolen were two sets of airplane wings not belonging to the stolen aircraft, a modified boat trailer used to transport the plane and assorted aviation gear. Total value of the theft is estimated at $92,000.
the plane is a 2004 Airborne Aerostrike, model 912XT. It is red and black in colour.
OPP advises that if anyone attempts to use mismatched wings on the plane, they could become detached during flight.
Anyone with information is asked to call OPP, 705-742-0401 or Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222-TIPS.

If you are not currently a student at Golden Gate, before you can register for an online class, you need to apply for admission.
If you are already admitted to Golden Gate Seminary, you may register simply using the normal registration process. Enter "MyGGBTS" using your ID and PIN numbers and click on "Business & Registration" and then click on the course schedule. Under campus select "eCampus" and then submit. Only the scheduled Online /eCampus courses will show.
Online students may take the online MTS degree or the Diploma in Theology completely via the Internet. Or they may take up to two thirds of any other masters degree online. The online MTS is dually accredited to be taken completely online with no on campus time required. For the MDiv or any other masters program, the remaining one third of the degree program must be taken in a face-to-face classroom setting. Many one week intensive courses are available in January and summer at the Northern and Southern California campuses. Check the Quick Course Search to see the selection.
Yes, you can use the simplified "special student" application to take online courses. Students in degree programs at other accredited schools may also take Golden Gate online courses and transfer them into their own school. Check with your registrar to confirm acceptability to your program in that case.
Courses will vary in format depending on the subject matter and the instructor. Typically courses will be arranged in a series of ten weekly lessons. Students will have assigned readings and threaded discussion questions to which they will post their answers online and respond to classmates. Students should expect to put about 10 hours a week into an online class, including reading, writing, posting, online discussion, etc. Some faculty post video lectures, others use PowerPoint lectures with sound. Some lessons have graphics embedded with maps, engravings, and statistical charts. Some classes utilize weekly online live chats between the students and the instructor or chat teams just among the students. All live video chats are archived so students unable to participate live can still review the archived session that week. Tests and quizzes are taken online too. Typically students can expect an email each week from the professor letting the student know how they are progressing.
Online courses are accredited just as any other Golden Gate Seminary course. In general, this accreditation should allow them to be transferred to another school or seminary. However, each school has its own policies, so you should confirm transfer courses with the school to which you are transfering. Note that your transcript will not indicate whether or not your courses were taken on campus or online.
Yes, Golden Gate has contracted with a proven provider of distance education technology so that if the online lectures, quizzes, or any technical aspect is not loading right, then you have a toll-free number and an email address to connect with 24-7 technical support.
Yes, our accrediting bodies, the Association of Theological Schools in Canada and the USA (ATS) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) have approved Golden Gate to offer the MTS 100% online and additional courses for our other masters degrees up to 50% online.
Courses cost $215 per credit hour for SBC-related students and $275 for non-SBC students plus a $240 per course technology fee. Please see Tuition and Fees for complete list. So the cost is $885 for a three-hour course for an SBC student. That looks like a lot of money and it is! It feels better when you consider that price against the cost commuting at an average of $3.50 per gallon of gas or the cost of flying in weekly or every other week. The savings of time in commute and the sheer convenience make the economics look better. The three other large seminaries on the West Coast charge an average of $515 per hour or $1545 per three-hour course, and you would still have to commute or relocate to their campus.
There may be scholarships through your local association or state convention, but Golden Gate does not yet have monies allocated to scholarship online students. But we are working on it!
Online class tuition is due in full at the beginning of each semester. There is currently not an option for paying online class tuition in installments.
Yes, you can drop the course anytime in the first two weeks by contacting the Registrar's Office at email@example.com. Read the drop/add policy here in the catalog. Tuition refunds are given on a prorated basis, as outlined in the catalog. Click here to download a form to drop or add a class.
Contact Dr. Rick Durst, the director of Online Education or the Online Program Administrative Assistant at The Office of Online Education.

Astronomia nova
The Astronomia nova (full title in original Latin: Astronomia Nova ΑΙΤΙΟΛΟΓΗΤΟΣ seu physica coelestis, tradita commentariis de motibus stellae Martis ex observationibus G.V. Tychonis Brahe[1]) is a book, published in 1609, that contains the results of the astronomer Johannes Kepler's ten-year long investigation of the motion of Mars. One of the greatest books on astronomy, the Astronomia nova provided strong arguments for heliocentrism and contributed valuable insight into the movement of the planets, including the first mention of their elliptical path and the change of their movement to the movement of free floating bodies as opposed to objects on rotating spheres. It is recognized as one of the most important works of the Scientific Revolution.[2]
Prior to Kepler, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed in 1543 that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun. The Copernican model of the solar system was regarded as a device to explain the observed positions of the planets rather than a physical description.
Kepler sought for and proposed physical causes for planetary motion. His work is primarily based on the research of his mentor, Tycho Brahe. The two, though close in their work, had a tumultuous relationship. Regardless, on his deathbed, Brahe asked Kepler to make sure that he did not "die in vain," and to continue the development of his Tychonic system. Kepler would instead write the Astronomia nova, in which he rejects the Tychonic system, as well as the Ptolemaic system and the Copernican system. Some scholars have speculated that Kepler's dislike for Brahe may have had a hand in his rejection of the Tychonic system and formation of a new one.[3]
Structure and Summary of the Astronomia nova[edit]
|This section relies on references to primary sources. (December 2010)
In English, the full title of his work is the New Astronomy, Based upon Causes, or Celestial Physics, Treated by Means of Commentaries on the Motions of the Star Mars, from the Observations of Tycho Brahe, Gent. For over 650 pages, Kepler walks his readers, step by step, through his process of discovery so as to dispel any impression of "cultivating novelty," he says.
The Astronomia nova's introduction, specifically the discussion of scripture, was the most widely distributed of Kepler's works in the seventeenth century.[4] The intro outlines the four steps Kepler took during his research. The first is his claim that the sun itself and not any imaginary point near the sun (as in the Copernican system) is the point where all the planes of the eccentrics of the planets intersect, or the center of the orbits of the planets. The second step consists of Kepler placing the sun as the center and mover of the other planets. This step also contains Kepler's reply to objections against placing the sun at the center of the universe, including objections based on scripture. In reply to scripture, he argues that it is not meant to claim physical dogma, and the content should be taken spiritually. In the third step, he posits that the sun is the source of the motion of all planets, using Brahe's proof based on comets that planets do not rotate on orbs. The fourth step consists of describing the path of planets as not a circle, but an oval.
As the Astronomia nova proper starts, Kepler demonstrates that the Tychonic, Ptolemaic, and Copernican systems are indistinguishable on the basis of observations alone. The three models predict the same positions for the planets in the near term, although they diverge from historical observations, and fail in their ability to predict future planetary positions by a small, though absolutely measurable amount. Kepler here introduces his famous diagram of the movement of Mars in relation to Earth if Earth remained unmoving at the center of its orbit. The diagram shows that Mars's orbit would be completely imperfect and never follow along the same path.
Kepler discusses all his work at great length throughout the book. He addresses this length in the sixteenth chapter:
If thou art bored with this wearisome method of calculation, take pity on me, who had to go through with at least seventy repetitions of it, at a very great loss of time.[5]
Kepler, in a very important step, also questions the assumption that the planets move around the center of their orbit at a uniform rate. He finds that computing critical measurements based upon the Sun's actual position in the sky, instead of the Sun's "mean" position injects a significant degree of uncertainty into the models, opening the path for further investigations. The idea that the planets do not move in a uniform rate, but with a speed proportional to their distance, was completely revolutionary, and would become his second law (discovered before his first). Kepler, in his calculations leading to his second law, made multiple mathematical errors, which luckily cancelled each other out "as if by miracle."[6]
Given this second law, he puts forth in Chapter 33 that the sun is the engine that moves the planets. To describe the motion of the planets, he claims the sun emits a physical species, analogous to the light it also emits, which pushes the planets along. He also suggests a second force within every planet itself that pulls it toward then sun to keep it from spiraling off into space.
Kepler then attempts to finally find the true path of the planets, which he determines is an ellipse. His initial attempt to define the orbit of Mars, far before he arrived at the ellipse shape, was off by only eight minutes, yet this was enough for Kepler to require an entirely new system. Kepler tried a number of shapes before the ellipse, including an egg shape. What's more, he discovered the mathematical definition for the ellipse as the orbit, then rejected it, then adopted the ellipse without knowing that it was the same:
"I laid [the original equation] aside, and fell back on ellipses, believing that this was quite a different hypothesis, whereas the two, as I shall prove In the next chapter, are one in the same…Ah, what a foolish bird I have been!"[7]
Kepler's Knowledge of Gravity[edit]
In his introductory discussion of a moving earth, Kepler addressed the question of how the Earth could hold its parts together if it moved away from the center of the universe which, according to Aristotelian physics, was the place toward which all heavy bodies naturally moved. Kepler proposed an attractive force similar to magnetism, which may have been known by Newton.
"Gravity is a mutual corporeal disposition among kindred bodies to unite or join together; thus the earth attracts a stone much more than the stone seeks the earth. (The magnetic faculty is another example of this sort).... If two stones were set near one another in some place in the world outside the sphere of influence of a third kindred body, these stones, like two magnetic bodies, would come together in an intermediate place, each approaching the other by a space proportional to the bulk [moles] of the other.... For it follows that if the earth's power of attraction will be much more likely to extend to the moon and far beyond, and accordingly, that nothing that consists to any extent whatever of terrestrial material, carried up on high, ever escapes the grasp of this mighty power of attraction."[8]
Kepler discusses the moon's gravitational effect upon the tides as follows:[9]
The sphere of the attractive virtue which is in the moon extends as far as the earth, and entices up the waters; but as the moon flies rapidly across the zenith, and the waters cannot follow so quickly, a flow of the ocean is occasioned in the torrid zone towards the westward. If the attractive virtue of the moon extends as far as the earth, it follows with greater reason that the attractive virtue of the earth extends as far as the moon and much farther; and, in short, nothing which consists of earthly substance anyhow constituted although thrown up to any height, can ever escape the powerful operation of this attractive virtue.
Johannes also clarifies the concept of lightness in terms of relative density, in opposition to the Aristotelian concept of the absolute nature or quality of lightness as follows. His argument could easily be applied today to something like the flight of a hot air balloon.
Nothing which consists of corporeal matter is absolutely light, but that is comparatively lighter which is rarer, either by its own nature, or by accidental heat. And it is not to be thought that light bodies are escaping to the surface of the universe while they are carried upwards, or that they are not attracted by the earth. They are attracted, but in a less degree, and so are driven outwards by the heavy bodies; which being done, they stop, and are kept by the earth in their own place.[10]
In reference to Kepler's discussion relating to gravitation, Walter William Bryant makes the following statement in his book Kepler (1920).
...the Introduction to Kepler's "Commentaries on the Motion of Mars," always regarded as his most valuable work, must have been known to Newton, so that no such incident as the fall of an apple was required to provide a necessary and sufficient explanation of the genesis of his Theory of Universal Gravitation. Kepler's glimpse at such a theory could have been no more than a glimpse, for he went no further with it. This seems a pity, as it is far less fanciful than many of his ideas, though not free from the "virtues" and "animal faculties," that correspond to Gilbert's "spirits and humours".[11]
Kepler considered that this attraction was mutual and was proportional to the bulk of the bodies, but he did not consider whether or how this force may have varied with distance. Furthermore, this attraction only acted between "kindred bodies"—bodies of a similar nature, a nature which he did not clearly define.[12][13] Kepler's idea differed significantly from Newton's later concept of gravitation and it can be "better thought of as an episode in the struggle for heliocentrism than as a step toward Universal gravitation.[14]
Kepler's laws[edit]
The Astronomia nova records the discovery of the first two of the three principles known today as Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which are:
- That the planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.
- That the speed of the planet changes at each moment such that the time between two positions is always proportional to the area swept out on the orbit between these positions.
Kepler discovered the "second law" before the first. He notices, as recorded in Chapter 32 of the Astronomia nova that the speed of the planet varies inversely based upon its distance from the Sun, and therefore he could measure changes in position of the planet by adding up all the distance measures, or looking at the area along an orbital arc.
However, Kepler's "area-time principle" did not facilitate easy calculation of planetary positions. Kepler could divide up the orbit into an arbitrary number of parts, compute the planet's position for each one of these, and then refer all questions to a table, but he could not determine the position of the planet at each and every individual moment because the speed of the planet was always changing. This paradox, referred to as the "Kepler problem," prompted the development of calculus.
The "third law"[edit]
Kepler discovered his "third law" a decade after the publication of the Astronomia nova as a result of his investigations in the 1619 Harmonices Mundi (Harmonies of the world). He found that the ratio of the length of the semi-major axis of each planet's orbit (cubed), to the time of its orbital period (squared), is the same for all planets.
The 2009 International Year of Astronomy commemorates the 400th anniversary of the publication of this work.[15]

MEXICO CITY (June 20, 2012) – The U.S. U-15 Boys' National Team bowed out of the Copa México de Naciones with a 0-0 tie against Colombia in the teams' third and final Group 2 match.
The tie left head coach Tony Lepore's men tied with Colombia with four points, but Colombia advanced with a greater goal differential.
Goalkeeper Abraham Romero kept the U.S. in the match when a penalty was called against the United States. Jhon Miranda stepped up for the penalty, which Romero saved but the kick was ordered to be retaken due to encroachment. Romero made the save on the second attempt and followed it up with a point-blank save on the rebound.

This year's list of James Beard Foundation Awards Restaurant and Chef semifinalists is in, and two Connecticut chefs are in the running for one of the food and beverage world's highest honors.
Bun Lai of Miya's Sushi in New Haven and Bill Taibe of LeFarm and The Whelk in Westport have been nominated in the category of Best Chef: Northeast, joining other star contenders from New England and upstate New York. This is Taibe's third consecutive nomination, earning nods in 2011 and 2012.
Both chefs are known for an intense commitment to fresh, local and sustainable ingredients, particularly seafood. Taibe's The Whelk concentrates on fish and shellfish from local purveyors; Lai eschews any non-sustainable fish on his menu and often uses edible invasive species in his sushi creations.
In 2012, Manchester's Shady Glen earned an America's Classics award from the foundation, which honored American restaurants with "timeless appeal."

Nice clip for tips and tricks, but those are just bandaids for American society. American's have acquired a fear, mistrust and resentment for those that speak well and are educated. This fear manifests itself by literally stealing the voice from our younger generation. As an acting and voice teacher, the simple task of having a college student stand up and read a poem, or a newspaper article incites an inability to speak. It's a systemic problem facing America that regions like the UK don't suffer from as voice is taught from an early age. This simple act of forcing a student once a week to stand up in front of the class and read a poem, wipes away tons of issues with regard to child literacy. I guarantee you if a student can't read and knows they are going to have to speak from text, they will work harder to learn, and the speech will help teachers immediately know who needs their attention more. But I digress, nice work guys.
Great tips and explanation guys!
I do give presentations myself regularly ad it's still a skill that needs to be taken care of to improve and gain confidence.
The audio is very strong in the right ear and very weak in the left.

Next month we will induct 10 Central Floridians into the Orlando Sentinel Culinary Hall of Fame, an annual special edition of Cooking & Eating that recognizes those who have made significant contributions to how we eat, drink and dine. If you have someone you'd like to nominate, email their name, contact information and a brief bio describing what makes them hall-of-fame worthy to email@example.com by 5 p.m. Feb. 8. Honorees will run in this section on Feb. 27. In the meantime, let's dish:
Will you cry over spilled milk? Market forecasters are predicting that the prices of beef, pork and milk are bound to rise in 2013 as farmers and ranchers pass along the higher costs of grain and feed used to fatten cattle, chickens and hogs. Severe droughts are to blame. So what's a home cook to do? Shop and cook smarter.
Gallon containers of milk products are cheaper per serving than smaller quart cartons, but some households often have difficulty using up the larger sizes before they spoil. Here are some money-saving ideas:
•Cook with dry or canned milk. Both varieties keep a long time and can be used in cooking and baking in place of fresh milk.
•Use dry milk to make liquefied skim milk, dilute soups and make cocoa mixes. Mix equal amounts of non-fat dry milk with liquid milk.
•Substitute powdered buttermilk for fresh buttermilk to make biscuits, pancakes, muffins and corn bread.
•Use powdered milk to stretch that container of fresh milk.
Buying less or less-expensive cuts of beef and pork will keep meat in your meal planning:
•Consider using meat as a condiment. The American Dietetic Association has long tried to persuade consumers to occasionally look at all meats as a protein topping on rice, pasta or salads.
•Eat smaller portions. The ADA says a good serving size for meat is 3 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards.
•Select less expensive cuts. These choices are best marinated, grilled and carved against the grain. Top round or chuck beef roasts are delicious after a long braising on low heat. For pork, try shoulder and bone-in chops.
•Buy meats in bulk and freeze when stores have good sales.
Today at OrlandoSentinel.com/thedish, check out our money-saving test-kitchen recipes.
What's in season. In the produce bin, look for Florida avocados, bell peppers, broccoli, cabbage, carambola, cauliflower, celery, eggplant, grapefruit, guava, lettuce, mushrooms, oranges, passion fruit, peanuts, radishes, snap beans, squash, strawberries, sweet corn, tangerines and tomatoes.
At the seafood counter, look for alligator, clams, king mackerel, mullet, oysters, pompano, snapper, Spanish mackerel, spiny lobster, stone crab, tilapia and tilefish.

Tasty burger – A friend of mine took me here- I think it's a favorite for folks in Boulder proper. I expected just another burger place, but was pleasantly surprised. The burgers are juicy, and the staff is helpful. they get busy during lunch, so I recommend coming slightly before or after the usualy lunch times if possible.
Yum! One of the best burgers in town – My boyfriend took me to Thunderbird while we were coming back from skiing and the food totally hit the spot following a day of skiing.
As far as hamburgers so, this place is second ONLY to Lark Burger! Highly recommend.
